RADIATOR-SUPPORT- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.751,828, dated February 9, 1904.

Application filed December 7, 1903. Serial No. 184,096. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIA A. BEURY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Beury, in the county of Fayette and State of WVest Virginia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator-Supports;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in supportsfor steam and hot-water radiators.

In radiators as at present constructed the circulating-pipes are securedto a permanent or fixed base resting imlnovably upon the fioor, andhence the carpet or other floor-covering has to be cut and fitted aroundthe base.

The object of my invention is to provide an auxiliary base adapted to besecured to the base-board of the room and provided with removable legswhich may be taken off and replaced successively as the carpet or otherfloor-covering is put in place under the radiator; and with these endsin view my invention consists of a base composed, preferably, ofcastiron made in any ornamental design and adapted to constitute anauxiliary base or support for the radiator and having a right-angled orvertical wing with screw-holes therein adapted to lie and to be securedagainst the base-board of the apartment and provided also with two ormore recesses or pockets extended entirely across the base and suppliedwith supporting-legs fitted therein, as will be hereinafter more fullyset forth.

In order that those skilled in the art may know how to make and use myinvention, I will proceed to describe the same, referring by letters tothe accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a front elevation of abase or support embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is an end viewthereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in both figures of thedrawings.

A is the horizontal and B the vertical plate or surface of the device.Underneath the horizontal portion A are formed two or more recesses orpockets C, extending entirely across the same and adapted to receive thehorizontal arm attached to and forming part of the supporting-legs D, asclearly shown in the drawings. The vertical portion B is provided withany suitable number of screw-holes a, through which screws 6 pass toenter the baseboard of the apartment.

The radiator, which is not shown, is mounted or rests upon the support AB, and when it is desired to lay down or remove the floor carpet orother covering the legs D are removed one at a time and again replacedin an obvious manner without materially affecting the supporting qualityof the support, and, if necessary, all of the legs D may be temporarilyremoved, the screws 6 serving to support the device in place until thelegs D have been duly returned to their proper places.

I am of course aware that heating-stoves and the like have beenfurnished with removable legs secured within suitable sockets and donot, therefore, wish to be understood as laying claim to any suchfeature of construction, my invention lying in the idea of the supportas such for a radiator having not only removable supporting-legs, butalso provided with a vertical member or portion lying against andsecured to the base-board of the apartment.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a radiatorsupport consisting of theplatform or horizontal portion A provided with leg recesses or pocketsC, legs D, provided with arms adapted to enter the pockets or recessesC, and the vertical portion B provided with screw-holes a and adapted tobe secured in position against the base-board by screws 6, substantiallyas and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIA A. *BEURY.
